Good work, WPIX. Very enjoyable interview and music videos here. Rick's lullaby CD is just wonderful. An all around talented man there. Proud to be a fan of 3 decades standing.
Great performances! The new CD is amazing my kids (8 & 2) and I all love it! His more recent stuff from 2000 up to now is incredible also - probably even better than his music from the 80s. If you liked him back then, you really owe it to yourself to check him out again!
Awesome interview, great performances!!!
I LOVE RICK!!
I loved these videos! Rick is so talented and he is still creating new music! Last years' CD "Venus in Overdrive" is very very good, reminiscent of "Working Class Dog" (Jesse's Girl) but in current musical style! Check Rick out at www.rickspringfield.com or even better go to a live show! He is better than ever and has more energy than in the 80's!
Thanks PIX11 for sharing this awesome performer with us!
Wonderful song (Sandman) from wonderful Rick Springfield. It's great to hear him play acoustic guitar, singing sweetly. This cd is a must buy (if only for baby gifts!) and beyond. Great to see him on tv and lookin' good. I love this song and it shows his diversity - from pop rock god to lullabye lover.
